Egypt...Is Freedom in the Air?

We will be free.

Were you taught by English teachers that Freedom is an abstract noun?Were you taught by science professors that the air can not taste sweet?Were you taught by acoustic teachers that the chants of the masses can not chime in sync?Well... you were taught wrong. Freedom fills in the air in Tahrir square again, our square, Liberation square. The air is sweet and the chants are heavenly melodious. Our hearts flutter with the hopes of freedom yet again. Once more we, Egyptians, will naïvely try to overthrow dictatorship. I don't care whether we succeed or not. It's just that twenty years from now I want to be remembered among the ones who fought, among the ones who stood in the face of the tyrants, among the ones who refused to bow, among the ones who said to Islamists we are NOT afraid of your guns and your merciless hateful laws, among the ones who said to Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood we are not afraid of you and your "clan."
